Just the Basics

The things that move me are Music, Nature ... the Very Basic Things....

I hear much about myself through music and when something hits me I have to share... this is what hit me this morning....

By Linkin Park


I'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
I don't know what you're expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that I take is another mistake to you
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

can't you see that you're smothering me
holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought I would be
has fallen apart right in front of you

[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that I take is another mistake to you
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
and every second I waste is more than i can take

I've
become so numb
i can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
but I know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
I'm becoming this
all I want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've
become so numb
I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be

I love that song Cyan.

That's exactly how I felt and I played it night and day.
Being numb while i was clean and sober was some'in else.

I got caught in the undertow, caught in the undertow...for a while there.
Music also helps me... if a person can write words that I was experincing.
It also reminded me that I wasn't alone and someone did go through what
I was going through. In a way the life wasn't unfair just to me and I wasn't
single out.

Cynay!~
It's like the words of the song I heard Sunday morning that I posted. They may have been right under our face, or it may be a new song to hear. But, I totally believe that the HP, (being God, Karma, whatever your choice) does bring things like words to melodies that can bring a great deal of healing in our lives. They validate us, our emotions, our feelings. They LIBERATE us!~
~HUGS~ Your a great part of my healing!!!!

For anyone that wants to hear this song and see the video, just go to:

www.youtube.com

and type in: Linkin Park, Numb

This is a great way to listen to a new song or see a video. I had never heard this song before .. and I love it.

I too have found music to be a salvation in my most stressful times. My son introduced me to digital music online over a year ago with Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day ... and I have been hooked ever since. I now have my play list on both Itunes and Real player that I listen to on my computer while working or just surfing.

Music has been such a powerful and positive influence and when I look by at certain challenging situations and I wonder how I got through them with my sanity...I remember I would start listening to some of my favorite songs, and it would always lift my spirits and keep me going.
